Helen Browning's Royal Oak

Friendly and welcoming staff, thoughtful touches and a lovely location with great walks and lots to explore

The Royal Oak is outstanding in every respect. If you're staying a night, its facilities are unusually generous and extensive; if you're eating, the menu and the food are great; and if you just want a drink, there's a bar area and plenty of seating outside. The staff are lovely. Plus there's plenty of local information, books, games and events, not to mention a farm shop. If you can tear yourself away, visit Wayland's Smithy a couple of miles away along the Ridgeway.

Beautiful location, lovely rooms, food & staff. Will definitely be back 🙂

We absolutely loved this beautiful place. The atmosphere was so relaxed, the grounds and rooms were lovely. Felt like a little holiday rather than a hotel stay. The staff were really helpful and the food was beyond amazing!!! Breakfast service was super attentive and faultless. My partner couldn't stop talking about how lovely it was, think he would've swapped me for one the pork chops or a pack of the sausages if he had the chance!! Got back today and already looking at staying again.
